This week has been amazing! So many miracles! Sister Lin really is exactly what this area needs. She is full of unconditional love! I was really worried about getting a new companion because she of course is my first new companion since being out in the field, also know as my "greenie-breaker."
I knew changes were coming what with a new companion as well as a new District Leader. Needless to say I was pretty worried about how I would adjust to the new. But! Sister Lin really is amazing, and our personalities pretty much instantly matched. Every day has been full of laughs and new ideas on how to do the work here in Douliu. I hadn't thought that I had developed any particular habits because with Sister Ting being my only companion, my brain just figured whatever we were doing is just how it is. Lo and behold, there are other ways to do the same thing. I've already learned so much in this first week.
The District feel is now completely different. Not bad, just different. Although, that is probably because there is most likely no one as kua zhang as Elder Yeh.
As for stress, there has definitely still been some. Like, Lin JM is new to the area, so for the first week I needed to be the one to show her around and introduce her to the members and what-not, but it's been okay.
I read Alma 9 and really liked it. I liked how clearly Alma explains the difference between the standing of the wicked Nephites to that of the Lamanites and why it is that if the Nephites do not repent, the Lamanites will be better off in the eyes of God.
Read it, Ponder it, Apply it.
Love you!
